Using network data to detect DPI

Question

"Network transparency cuts both ways. It can be exploited to engage in surveillance of Internet service providers as well as Internet users. In order to better understand DPI use and the scope of its deployment, the project makes use of crowdsourced network monitoring data. So far, we have used data from a test known as Glasnost, which was developed by German researchers to detect blocking or throttling of BitTorrent and other peer to peer (P2P) file sharing protocols. The detailed workings of the Glasnost test are described in Dischinger, Marcon, et al (2010)."

Use tools running on M-Lab to test your Internet connection.

Answer 1

John the point being that DPI would need to be used based on what the post says to keep it unthrottled.
It's DPI that is the privacy concern not throtteling so BT's use of DPI which may be increasing is a concern not least since they have been known to run 'tests' of dubious legality before now (Phorm or some such as I recall)
